Abstract
General dynamic contact of two elastic bodies during collision or impact represents an extremely complex dynamical physical process due to the creation of time-dependent contact area the extension of which is not known apriori and therefore it becomes part of the solution of the problem. In general, numerical modelling techniques have to be employed for the study of transmission, reflection, refraction and diffraction of elastic waves across the contact zones and about the time-dependent moving contact edge during increasing and receding contact /1/.
